Huayu is here for you

Chapter 130 King of Kung Fu

Lin Yu listened to Cheng Long's words and scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly. After all, it had been more than half a year since he agreed to make a movie for Cheng Long, and Cheng Long had even held back a movie for almost half a year just to wait for him. Even if Lin Yu had a thick skin, he couldn't help but blush a little.

But what movie is it that Jackie Chan is working on in the first half of this year?

Could it be *The Forbidden Kingdom*? My goodness, did Miss Liu receive an invitation? How come there's not a single word about it? Lin Yu remembers that *The Forbidden Kingdom* caused quite a stir when it was casting in China in her previous life. Why is it so quiet now?

Could it be because of his own fault? Jackie Chan delayed agreeing because he was waiting for him, and the investors wanted to confirm both JJ's participation before starting promotion? Could that really be the case?

If that's the case, then Miss Liu definitely didn't receive an invitation. After all, she was still filming "The Witch" at that time, and if she had received an invitation, she would definitely have told me first.

Alright! It's settled then. Lin Yu, that little butterfly, flapped her wings and directly delayed "The Forbidden Kingdom" by more than half a year!

"Hehe—okay, brother, it's my fault. I should have told you in advance. After all, writing a script that suits you is really too much of a brain drain, and I have been quite busy recently."

"But it's finished now, so let's set the filming date for next year! I might be filming another movie soon, which means you can take on the role I've been asking you to take." Lin Yu looked at the "Assassin's Creed" file he had already saved in a folder on his computer and said against his will:

Listening to Lin Yu's words, Cheng Long didn't have time to think about why Lin Yu had started another movie, because all his attention was now focused on the movie "Wanted" that Lin Yu had told him about.

"Okay, Director Lin, could you send me the script to take a look first? I promise I won't leak it, hehe—I'm really itching to read it!"

"Okay, I'll send it to you in a bit, but it will only be your personal script," Lin Yu said as he edited on his computer.

"Okay, no problem. Oh, right, Director Lin, there's something I almost forgot. Mr. Yang from Yinghuang wants me to connect him with you, but the specifics are up to you. I'm just passing on the message." Cheng Long thought for a moment and said, "Yang Shoucheng? Hehe—okay, brother, I understand. I'll consider it." Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, then I won't bother you any longer, Director Lin. You're busy!"

"Okay, goodbye, big brother."

Just as Lin Yu hung up the phone, Luo Jin, having finished getting ready, came to find Lin Yu.

So Lin Yu put aside the question of whether or not to cooperate with Yang Shoucheng for the time being. After sending the script to Cheng Long, he immediately led Luo Jin to meet with Qian Lao.

While Lin Yu was taking Luo Jin to their destination, Cheng Long immediately replied to Huayi Brothers and Lionsgate, agreeing to star in the movie "The Forbidden Kingdom".

At the same time, Huayi Brothers, having finally received a reply from Jackie Chan, also announced that its Sino-foreign co-production blockbuster "The Forbidden Kingdom," a collaboration with Lionsgate, has been officially launched!

Following Lin Yu's "The Martian" and "The Witch," Huayi's news instantly stirred up a huge wave in the entertainment industry.

For Chinese film stars eager to break into Hollywood, Huayi Brothers' announcement is like another huge windfall in the entertainment industry, following in the footsteps of Lin Yu's film.

Immediately, various domestic media outlets reported on this: "Following Starlight, Huayi Brothers is once again setting sail for Hollywood!"

"The Sino-foreign co-production blockbuster 'The Forbidden Kingdom,' primarily controlled by Huayi Brothers, has officially been approved!"

Who are the two Asian superstars that Huayi Brothers has announced have agreed to star in their film?

At this moment, movie fans in the entertainment industry were completely excited. They felt that this year was their lucky year. Not only did Lin Yu release a new film, but Huayi Brothers also got a ticket to Hollywood? And two top Asian stars were joining the cast? Wasn't this a sure-fire blockbuster about to be released? And the movie title alone was enough to tell that it was for Chinese audiences!

While the entertainment industry was buzzing with excitement, the Wang brothers of Huayi Brothers also began casting for roles in the film.

Huayi Brothers has released over a dozen film roles, including the female lead, second female lead, male villain, and numerous minor supporting characters—they're incredibly generous! This has left the actors visibly excited.

However, this is just to fool the audience and the young actors. Most of the roles have already been packaged and assigned by Huayi Brothers, and they are just waiting for people to come and greet them one by one!

However, this does not include Lin Yu, because Lin Yu's "The Martian" provided them with too many resources at the time. Although Lin Yu personally made the decisions, the Wang brothers would not take Lin Yu's casting for granted if they weren't foolish. Moreover, when Lin Yu was casting, Wang Jinghua and a group of artists had not yet left Huayi Brothers. The Wang brothers and Wang Jinghua could not repay this huge favor in a short time.

Therefore, the general manager's office of Starlight —

"Mr. Wang? What's the matter?"

"Oh, I see. That's great! Which characters are involved?"

"Okay, I'll let Mr. Lin know."

"Okay, goodbye Mr. Wang."

Sitting in her office, Xiao Ou continued working on the tasks she hadn't finished after hanging up the phone, showing no intention of calling Lin Yu at all.

After all, she was used to this kind of thing. Because nowadays, roles are automatically offered to her every now and then, so there's no need to make a fuss.

Although Wang Zhonglei had just called her to offer her a choice of roles from the newly approved film "The Forbidden Kingdom," Xiao Ou wasn't bothered at all. It wasn't a lead role; the most important one was the second female lead. It wasn't worth her personally calling Lin Yu! She could just send Lin Yu a message later.

Moreover, because of Lin Yu, Huayi no longer has any intention of recruiting Miss Liu to Huayi, since they dare not poach Lin Yu's talent now.

If they really dared to try using the female lead of this movie, putting aside whether they could actually make decisions about her, just based on the movie resources alone, even a fool would know how to choose between Huayi Brothers and Starlight Media! Not to mention that Miss Liu is now Lin Yu's semi-public girlfriend.

And now, our great director Lin, together with Luo Jin, has met Qian Xuesen, the national hero who makes all Chinese people stand tall.
